4.0 out of 5 stars A great introduction to Tantra and its principles., 6 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Tantra: The Cult of the Feminine (Hardcover)
I am a newer student of Tantra, and I found this book to be engrossing and informative. Van Lysebeth presents Tantra in a straight-forward, unbiased manner with none of the creepiness and misconceptions many other Western authors heap on their readers. I think this is a great first book for someone who is just getting started or who may not be too sure if Tantra is for them.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you could only read one book on Tantra, this is it!, 4 Mar 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Tantra: The Cult of the Feminine (Hardcover)
I have spent some time researching Tantra, I was very happy to read Van Lysebeth's Tantra, the cult of the femine. I found this book to be well written and researched. It is full of useful information, which I still refer to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond Meditation: Liberation in Bed..., 27 Aug 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Tantra: The Cult of the Feminine (Hardcover)
No wonder MUKTANANDA's "Play of Consciousness" is in the bibliography! Van Lysebeth reveals to Westerners practising Yoga how to see the manifestation of divine and human love (the sexual ritual) in the most sacred, uplifting and transforming way! Reading this book will represent a HUGE PARADIGM SHIFT for you! Truly, this book is as much about spiritual transformation as much as sexual transformation. IT IS FULLY A SPIRITUAL BOOK (while being very concrete!). Van Lysebeth is one of the most renowned and respected Yoga and Pranayama teachers in the world, he here reveals secrets (practical secrets!) that have NEVER been revealed to such a wide audience. It took him 20 years of a long quest around all of India to find the Masters who would teach him the esoteric practice of sexual ritual as a means to liberation!!! You will see that doing "pranam" to your shakti or your shiva before and after love will become the most natural thing to you... Actually love will become one long [...] "pranam". You will learn the HISTORY, the basic PHILOSOPHY and very PRACTICAL details on how to become a Love Godess or Love God. Love will last for hours, it will rejuvenate you instead of tiring you, it will become MEDITATION (in action!). Read it, read it, read it!!! Viewing "sex" as the most sacred ritual in your life will make your life VERY different, no doubt about it. Especially: this book will transform the way you see "the world" and it will bring it into your "spiritual life". Women and Men will find this book very handy, not only because it goes into the specifics of the philosophy, but also because it will tell you how to practice beforehand to become a Godess/God Lover, it will describe positions of "maithuna" the sexual ritual... You will understand that "maithuna" is so sacred (like a PUJA of worhsip!!!) that you will not be suprised to learn that traditionally your Guru is present during the ritual!!! Liberation in bed!!!! Nothing else you will need, friend!
